FINAL PROJECT


ASSIGNMENTS
Applications and Implication
This week’s assignment was:

    -To explain the propose of the  final project and answer the fallowing questions.


What will you design?
The conical vase, the support for it and an electronic board to measure temperature.
       
What processes will be used?
3D printing, Laser cutting, electronics design and production, input devices, networking and communication
 
What will it do?

It will separate the essential oils from the water using a “Vase I.A.C. separator of essential oils lighter than water”. It will also be raised by a wood support that I fabricated.

Who's done what beforehand?

I discovered this project by fallowing this university “Instituto Federal de educação, ciência e tecnologia”. They did a similar project as you can see by clicking on the link.

What materials and components will be required?

Essential oil conical vase:

3D printing ABS (Acylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) filament

Support table and legs:

9mm MDF

Bluetooth temperature sensor:

Bluetooth HC-06
Temperature sensor DS18b20
4 resistor 2K2 ohms
2 male jumpers
5 female jumper
4 male/female jumpers
USB cable
Input board
Attniny

Distillation equipment:

2000 ml round bottom flask
2000 ml round bottom flask
400 mm condenser straight tube
75° distilling head
105° vacuum receiving tube
thermometer jacket tube
glass stopper
heating mantle
universal support

Where will they come from?

Most of the materials will be provided by Facens Fab Lab and the other materials will be ordered online. Here is the link to the company’s website that I ordered my material from.

How much will it cost?

Approximately $300

What parts and systems will be made?

The essential oil separator, a support and a system that measure the oil temperature.

What tasks need to be completed?

Everything has been tested.

What questions need to be answered?

There is no question to be answered.

What is the schedule?

The goal was to finish in 6 months but between school and daily life I was not able to complete the project. The new goal is to complete the project by January, 2018.

How will it be evaluated?

The main purpose of the project is to separate the oil from the water and have the oil drain into the cup. The final project will be evaluated by not only separating the oil from the water but also collecting the oil inside the cup.

What questions need to be answered?

1. Will my cone extract the oil by itself?
2. Are all the measurements for my designs correct?
3. Will my electronic board measure the temperature accurately?
4. Will i need to apply adhesive material or waterproofing material to keep the liquid inside the cone?
